U.S. Continues to Target Sinaloa Cartel

Borderland Beat DEA Press Release
click to enlarge
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent in Charge Doug Coleman announced today that the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) reported the designation of Jose Guadalupe Tapia Quintero, a Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico based senior lieutenant of the Sinaloa Cartel.  Jose Guadalupe Tapia Quintero was designated for his role in the drug trafficking activities of Ismael "Mayo" Zambada Garcia and for playing a significant role in international drug trafficking. 
"DEA and its OFAC partners will not allow these dangerous cartels and their associates to exploit the U.S. financial system," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Doug Coleman.  "We're relentlessly following the financial trail to deprive these traffickers of their assets, draining the lifeblood from their criminal enterprises."
Tapia Quintero oversees the transportation of cocaine and marijuana for the Zambada Garcia drug trafficking organization and is responsible for coordinating the purchase and transportation of cocaine and methamphetamine from Sinaloa into the U.S., specifically Arizona and California, on a monthly basis. 
Tapia Quintero also transports methamphetamine on behalf of a drug trafficking cell affiliated with Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman Loera from Sinaloa to Tijuana, Baja California via tractor trailers.  The President identified Joaquin Guzman Loera, Ismael Zambada Garcia, and the Sinaloa Cartel as significant foreign narcotics traffickers pursuant to the Kingpin Act in 2001, 2002 and 2009, respectively.
Pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act), this designation generally prohibits U.S. persons from conducting financial or commercial transactions with Tapia Quintero, and also freezes any assets he may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
"We will continue to target all aspects of the narcotics trade," said Treasury's Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Adam J. Szubin.  "Our actions will focus on their financial nerve points as well as the underlying logistics which are essential to their day to day operations such as the transportation network that we are taking action against today."
Today's action would not have been possible without the support of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), specifically the Phoenix Field Division, and the multi-agency OCDETF Strike Force.
Since June 2000, the President has identified 103 drug kingpins, and OFAC has designated more than 1300 entities and individuals, pursuant to the Kingpin Act. Penalties for violations of the Kingpin Act range from civil penalties of up to $1.075 million per violation to more severe criminal penalties. Criminal penalties for corporate officers may include up to 30 years in prison and fines up to $5 million. Criminal fines for corporations may reach $10 million. Other individuals could face up to 10 years in prison and fines pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code for criminal violations of the Kingpin Act.

If the cartels think they can use their ill-gotten gains to showboat in the U.S. they've got another thing coming... the U.S. government isn't mexico, they'll seize everything homes, cars, cash, planes they don't care everything is fair game businesses family members assets and they will keep going. They seized the zetas farm and over 400 horses some horses which were worth millions

    1. Wrong just plain wrong I watch sinaloa hang one of those narco banners in Houma Louisiana about 4 block from the state police headquarters and the did nothing visit some towns and cities on the I-10 corridor and youll see them they ride around some of these places with their cartel affiliation emblazoned on their vehicles they buy bars launder money corrupt local trucking outfits to smuggle drugs the bribe their ways into legitimate business sectors like the gulf coast oil and gas industry and use its ports to smuggle drugs and engage in all manner of racketeering and extortion from labor corruption to extortion and human trafficking all right out in the open at least they do in texas and Louisiana theres a political aspect to what theyre doing in much the same way china is at war with the us in cyberspace and money markets its a concerted effort to subvert American culture and dominance in the region same thing the brits did to the chinese ive known some of these people and believe me its not just about profit they are literally hell bent on our destruction they are bitter about the past and bitter about their place on the world stage you can easily look and see that everything west of the Mississippi and south of our borders is polarizing back to a latin hegemony Venezuela peru bolivia etc mexicos ethnic borders are expanding past their political borders to mirror there pre- mexico/American war territorial claims at the height of its sovereignty just look at it cali az nm nevada tejas its a concerted effort to recover what was lost through manipulation and indirect conflict these people are not all apolitical why do think their own government turned a blind eye for so long ..

    5. 5:25 am, quit dreaming and talking about something you don't know, all the weapons you are talking about, but one are mentioned in the movie 'Star Wars'. The Howitzer however was a short range 110 mm cannon used during the Vietnam War. When used to defend the firebase was loaded with a flechette round(thousands of darts) and fired at point blank range. Thanks Army Veteran 1968-1990.

      Delete
    7. 7:59 you are just a grunt,no disrepect intended.the term tesla howitzer refers to the russian energetics weapons also called intererometers.these use non hertzian longitudinal em waves which meet at the zone of interference,releasing all sorts of em effects,electricity.they can release electricity fast resulting in a electrical explosion more powerful than a atomic explosion,or slowly,heating areas and influencing the weather.also the reverse can be done,cooling slowly,or fast,a cold explosion which freezes entire armies,cloths cannot protect.this info is on.you tube on soviet secret tesla weapons,which also was briefed to cohen the u.s. SECRETARY of Defense.the sonic booms are where the beams.come together creating a zone of interferometry with a focused spot where a plasmoid in dark mode is exploded.think ball lightning with liw electricity so its dark.it makes a boom when it releases the energy expanding th he air like a thunderbolt.when at higher levels its those blue green meteors that are all over . The us.the quantum potential russian qeapon could kill all the templars,and ONLY the templars silently ,all at the same time ,in the whole earth.

    8. To the nam vet, lieutenant colonel tom bearden,navy,ret. Is the us scalar weapons expert.he said th he russians downed your f118 several times by interfering with electrical flow in the cockpit.this was undetected by regular instruments.its called energetics and has 3 ,parts.1 is energetics,2 is bioenergetics,3. Is psychoenergetics.and yes the russians can create a mind condition,in an entire country.so you people who laugh at this ,qull be suprised when it cranks up.seen any blue green flashes lately?pray it dont go BOOM!

      Delete
    9. 4:44 am please post the link, I don't think the F118 has been built yet, I know about the F117 Stealth Fighter, but none of those have ever been shot down, only one crashed during a training exercise many years ago in the California desert of us Highway 58.

  35. About 5 years ago Guadalupe (Lupillo) Tapia had a private party in the sierra madre somewhere where El General (Manuel Torres' son) and El Potro were the honorary singers accompanied with banda. That was to celebrate new gates that opened abroad(internationally) that would soon be flooded with USD to be laundered and turned into GBP, EUR, ZAR, CHF, JPY, etc. He has a few corridos which don't mention his name but those that do are Los 3 Enamorados (El Niño Zambada, El Güti, Lupe Tapia) and the self titled one by Arley. He is very high in the chain hence heavily protected. He also goes by "11." Let's not confuse him with GonzaloMP as he also was 11. Two different roles in the organization, not to mention Lupillo is loyal and part of Zambada's close family as opposed to MP. CYA 818-661 AREA

  46. a lot of you are so naive as to think that the drug trade will come to an end, as long as there a human beings in this planet, there will be all sorts of markets, they need to be controlled, they do not operate by themselves. ALL of them sooner or later cooperate with higher authorities, their business model has to be that of a revolving business as far as employees go, they recycle, regroup and work for another term and as soon as someone starts doing things other than trafficking activities, they get replaced, just like a a manager would get replaced the moment his management funds don't make the board happy.
